"Two years ago, Hogwarts was already closed in August, but an accident shattered the tranquility.

There is one more name on the Book of Access.

This wasn't a special thing in the first place - every day the Pen of Acceptance would write the names of children with magical talents on the Book of Access.

But unlike before, in the past, these children's names were often written when they were a few years old, but by the time the child was recorded in the book, he was already over 11 years old.

It was only at the age of 11 that he showed a talent for magic, and for a master of magic like Professor McGonagall, it was all too obvious.

Worried about her children, she came to me. (Dumbledore gesucks at himself)

I couldn't agree more with Professor McGonagall, so while you were still asleep—forgive me, I don't like to be an uninvited villain, but your situation is urgent—a careful examination was done to you. ”

"You're in good shape, not what I expected, after your magical talent has awakened, you have shown great talent, and even when you are sleeping, the things around you are being unintentionally given magic by you."

"It's a relief to me, at least you're still saved."

"Wait." Karl interrupted Dumbledore. "I've always been curious about this question and tried to find it in the library."

"There is a being that is similar to me, but different, named Mooran." Carl remembered a document he had seen while searching for Dumbledore-related materials by the name of Credence.

"That's right. Silently. At the mention of this word, Dumbledore was slightly depressed, and then shook his head, "But you should know that you are not silent. ”

"Silence is a dark magical creature created by the magic absorbing pain after the wizard suppresses the magic power." "But I'm obviously not that kind of person, I'm just ······"

He remembered Polo's words.

"Living in a happy world, and not believing in the existence of magic in this world, unconsciously suppresses magic."

Dumbledore was amazed, "Cal, you already know more about magic than many adult wizards. ”

He nodded and said:

"Yes, this is actually very rare, as most Muggle children with magical talents will not suppress their magic even if they don't believe in the existence of magic in this world - in fact, they don't even know how to master their magic."

"But it's different for the most gifted kids, Carl, you've already figured out how talented you are." Dumbledore's gaze was deep, as if he was caught in a memory.

"Such children are rare, but they do exist - they are already able to use their talents and develop some magic just by their own fumbling alone."

"It's completely different from the magic you learn in school—you don't need a spell, you don't need a wand, you just need the kid to think about it."

"From the very beginning, these children stood at the pinnacle of what many wizards have been trying to do all their lives - to be able to control their magic."

Carl smiled embarrassedly, "I think you used to be such a kid too." ”

"Yes, but it's not just me, it's not just you, of course you're the very special one." Dumbledore said, "Magic responds to the caster's desires." For you, magic does answer your desires: you don't believe in magic, so magic consciously suppresses its appearance. ”

"But magic is irrepressible after all, they have their own ideas."

Karl nodded: "Just like a king, he can order his courtiers to do anything, but that doesn't mean they won't have their own ideas - especially if the king's order is to make him commit suicide." ”

"Apt metaphor. Because of this, a magical creature is being conceived in your soul, and after your magic awakens, this magical creature is about to take shape, and if left unchecked, this magical creature will take over your body in no more than a year. ”

Carl remembered Polo's words, and from any point of view, it seemed that he should not have lived that long.

"This is a rare phenomenon, and to be honest, if there are really people in this world who still have a way, I think there should be only a few people." Dumbledore said lightly, "Like me." ”

"So I came up with a brilliant idea, but it requires you to go to Hogwarts for the entrance ceremony."

"The entrance ceremony is an ancient ritual magic that helps children to calm their magic and stabilize it so that they can better master their powers."

"It's also a blessing that makes it easier for people to remember what they've forgotten."

"And I want to use this ancient magic and blessing, the principle here is very complicated, if you take the analogy you just had, then it is the king who knows about the rebellion of his courtiers, and with the help of external forces, he defeats these conspirators."

"And then there will be a long period of recuperation, and it will be a long time for those broken magic to merge with your soul again, and I am glad that my child, as far as I can see, your problems have been completely solved."

Carl remembered that he was really tired on the day he entered school, and that he had a dream, and he remembered that Hattings had said something about it at the time, but he didn't care at all.

Hattings ······ As soon as he thought of the name, his heart began to ache again.

Dumbledore didn't stop, but continued: "Cal's next thing, please forgive me if I help you. I didn't expect that some of my thoughts would bring you such a catastrophe. ”

Carl listened quietly.

The cause of this incident is still Karl.

In August, Hogwarts has closed its admissions, but it is clear that Carl's situation will not be able to wait for the next academic year.

He was going to have a student transfer to school, which had to be explained to the Ministry of Magic.

That's why Dumbledore needed to go to the Ministry of Magic in person.

This further fueled the speculation of many that for some reason, Dumbledore would rarely enter the Ministry of Magic unless there was something important, even though it was known that the Ministry was willing to do Dumbledore's bidding.

In fact, when something really happens, it's often the Minister of Magic who goes to Hogwarts in person, not the other way around.

"I don't want to tell the Ministry of Magic what happened to you." Dumbledore said, "It's complicated here, and I don't want you to be looked at differently by too many people, which will put you under too much pressure and probably make your situation worse. ”

"On the other hand, the wizarding world isn't all ······ People with good intentions, especially for a Muggle-born wizard. ”

The second sentence that Karl said to Dumbledore was fully understandable.

Why did Professor Carlo decide to kill himself?

Although there is a conflict of ideas here, it is not because of his own talent in the final analysis.

"And in the end, it's also a little selfishness, and I want to use you to test some people." Dumbledore sighed, "The world has been peaceful for a long time, I am also old, many people have their own ideas, I need to cast a stone that is tempting enough to see what everyone thinks." ”

Karl looked at Dumbledore's white beard and hair, and then at his energetic face, a little speechless at the judgment of these people.

Indeed, according to the lifespan of a normal wizard, Dumbledore has entered the late stage of his career, and even if he can live for more than ten years, his strength is constantly fading, and it is a question of whether he can pick up his wand and recite spells after ten years.

But for a great wizard like Dumbledore, "normal" was a concept that should have been thrown off.

"So I forged your identity. By some hint, I told Fudge that you were a Dumbledore who had been left behind, from my dead father, who had a Squib brother who had been sent to the Muggle world, and that you were his descendant. Naturally, Fudge told the people who should know about it. ”

"Huh!?" Carl couldn't help but cry out, pointing at himself and shouting, "Me? Dumbledore? Forge? ”

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "Dumbledore is not a great surname, but it is true that many people look at it differently because of me. ”

So your application was approved. And I knew what I wanted to know. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's a boring and sad thing." Dumbledore didn't say what it was, just a little sad on his face.

Carl didn't want to let go of this matter, he carefully sorted out Dumbledore's matter, and suddenly a little inspiration flashed in his mind.

Dumbledore took himself to Diagon Alley that day, and it was a show of great fanfare in itself, but not for those wizards, but for others.

Those who should know that they are Dumbledore.

The show must have convinced those people that Karl was a Dumbledore.

But then what?

Karl was a little dazed, he still didn't understand the value of being a descendant of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's power came not from his surname, but from his great power.

Wait, last name······

Karl pondered for a while, looked at Dumbledore, who was still smiling at him, and asked carefully, "Sir, do you know that Professor Carlo wants me to be your successor?" ”

"Carl, you're more mature than I thought, and you're far more sensitive to these things than many adult wizards." Dumbledore said calmly.

Before he could taste what Dumbledore meant, Karl heard Dumbledore nod his head, "Yes, it's not just you, but many others who have similar thoughts. Dumbledore's successor is a Dumbledore, how nice it is, just like them, for generations, from generation to generation. ”

This statement was undoubtedly not in favor, and Karl listened silently.

From this sentence, he had already guessed who Dumbledore wanted to know.

Those pure-blood families.

He thought of his professor, and now he was a little confused, because he and Hattings had analyzed why Professor Caro had chosen him.

But judging by Dumbledore's words, Professor Carlo didn't seem to think as far ahead.

He chose Carl not only because he was personal, but also because he was a "Dumbledore".

No, it doesn't seem to be in conflict.

Carl soon realized that this was actually even better - if a Muggle-born wizard became Dumbledore's successor, then Dumbledore's ideas were not broken, and he could be widely recognized by those low-level, Muggle-born, half-blood wizards.

At the same time, this is also a "Dumbledore", even if the blood is far away, but in fact it is still a "blood inheritance", which makes pure-blood wizards more acceptable.

So you are ordained?

Carl hurriedly shook his head, he felt that Dumbledore definitely didn't think so, after all, from Dumbledore's previous words, he was undoubtedly against this concept.

So······ Carl quickly figured out that this was indeed a test.

Dumbledore wanted to use Karl to find those who were still stubborn.

The appearance of a Dumbledore is enough to make these guys think about it - I can't change you, and I can't corrupt your next generation?

Dumbledore succeeded Dumbledore, and rightly did it.

Professor Carlo undoubtedly falls into this category.

Even those who are staunch in opposition will act out of fear of another "Dumbledore" if they feel that Dumbledore should not continue to rule.

Saying that he is indeed a powerful stone, he threw himself into the water, and immediately stirred up the ripples on the surface of the water.

Carl was a little laughing and crying, saying that his disaster was indeed caused by Dumbledore.

Thinking about this, Carl relaxed: "Sir, it's nothing, at least I have gained a lot of knowledge and grown a lot, if it weren't for you, I don't think I would have been able to get this." ”

Indeed, if it weren't for these twists and turns, how could Dumbledore have agreed to study the Dark Arts with Professor Caro?

He had naively thought that he was being looked at differently by Dumbledore.

"It's great that you think so." Dumbledore let out a long sigh of relief, "Cal, I promise you that from next year everything will be different, and nothing like this will bother you again. ”

He paused and said, "Of course, you can continue your studies with Professor Quirrell. ”

This is compensation for himself, and Carl does not hesitate to smile.

The knot was untied, and both sides visibly relaxed.

Carl remembered something, and now that he knew Dumbledore's thoughts, he thought it was a good thing to use for impressions.

"Sir, there's something I want to tell you."

He omitted his participation in the assembly of the pure-blood families—the kind of thing that was undoubtedly minusive. He heard it directly from Professor Caro.

The purebloods conspired to take Crouch's position as Minister of Magic, and arranged for their own to replace him.

"Thank you, Carl." Dumbledore said calmly.

He didn't seem surprised by this.

"But I trust Secretary Fudge." Dumbledore continued, "I've had a lot of contact with him, and although he's a bit tactful, there's justice in his heart. ”

Karl opened his mouth, finally putting away the shock on his face.

He felt that Dumbledore probably knew everything, that everything was under his control, but he never liked to say it.

In that case, why do you need to say anything more?

Dumbledore had said enough tonight.

Dumbledore also realized that Carl was not in the mood to talk, and put the condolences he had prepared on the bedside.

"Good night then, Carl."
